Flava Flav Arrested on Felony Charge of Assault With a Deadly Weapon

By:
Abbey Stone
Oct 17, 2012

9-1-1 is not a joke, and neither is threatening your fiancée with a deadly weapon. Unfortunately, rapper and entertainer Flava Flav had to learn this the hard way. Flava Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, was arrested in Las Vegas early Wednesday morning after his fiancée, Liz Trujillo, made a call to the police.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department issued a statement to Hollywood.com that reads, "At approximately 3:30 this morning the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a call of a domestic disturbance occurring at a residence in the 7800 block of Via Ventura Court. The caller advised she had been involved in a physical altercation with her fiancé who was identified as William Drayton. It was also reported that after the physical altercation, Drayton had threatened his fiance’s teenage son with a knife."
The statement continues, "After an investigation, Drayton was arrested and charged with Battery Domestic Violence and Assault with a Deadly Weapon."
Flav, whom TMZ reports was bailed out of jail for $23,000 just before 11:30 AM PT Wednesday morning, has a court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

Those yellow bracelets, which once symbolized so much hope and optimism, are now tinged by the slowly decaying coat of controversy. Fifteen years after founding the LiveStrong foundation for cancer research and five years after becoming its chairman, Lance Armstrong has stepped down from his post. Armstrong cites the lifelong ban on cycling placed on him by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and his stripped Tour de France titles as the reason for his resignation.
In a statement on the LiveStrong website Armstrong said, "I have had the great honor of serving as this foundation’s chairman for the last five years and its mission and success are my top priorities. Today therefore, to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship." LiveStrong's Vice Chairman, Jeff Garvey, will take over for Armstrong.
Armstrong continued, "My family and I have devoted our lives to the work of the foundation and that will not change. We plan to continue our service to the foundation and the cancer community. We will remain active advocates for cancer survivors and engaged supporters of the fight against cancer. And we look forward to an exciting weekend of activities marking the 15th anniversary of the foundation’s creation."
As news of Armstrong's resignation broke on Wednesday, Nike also announced that they have terminated Armstrong's endorsement contract. Nike has released a statement to CNN that reads, "Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him."
While Nike originally stood by Armstrong when his titles were revoked in August, the USADA's new reports have caused the brand to change its course of action. "Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in any manner," Nike says.
In addition to ending Armstrong's endorsement contract, Nike will be removing the cyclist's name from its fitness center in Oregon, CNN reports. However, Nike, which has been a longtime supporter of LiveStrong, says that ending its relationship with Armstrong will have no effect on its support for the foundation.

Considering the evidence — one green Versace Grammys dress, one gold Golden Globes dress, and one orange Michael Kors gown, for starters — you would think that Jennifer Lopez would understand the finer points of using boob tape by now. But, as we learned during Lopez's concert at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy, on Thursday night, she hasn't quite gotten the hang of it.
While performing a high-energy number, Lopez's sheer, bedazzled bodysuit shifted just slightly, giving audience members — and photographers — a peek at one of her upper body private ladybits (that's a polite way of saying "nipple"). Don't you do dress rehearsals to make sure these sorts of things don't happen? But Lopez, a seasoned performer, didn't skip a beat. She just tucked her boob back into place and kept on keeping on — because the show must go on!
Of course, this isn't the first time Lopez failed to leave anything to the imagination on stage. Remember the too-sheer Zuhair Murad gown Lopez wore while presenting at the 2012 Oscars? Or, rather, remember how you could see a hint of Lopez's nipple when she presented at the 2012 Oscars? I thought you would.
Maybe, JLo's right nipple should team up with Angelina Jolie's right leg for a spinoff reality show. We can call it The Real Body Parts of Hollywood's A-List.

Now that Barbara's on the case, hopefully we'll get some answers in the Curious Case of Lindsay Lohan. Barbara Walters announced on The View this morning (and ABC confirmed the news in a statement) that she will be sitting down with Lohan for a one-on-one interview that will air on 20/20 on Friday, Nov. 16 — just in time to whet our appetites for Lohan's Lifetime movie, Liz &amp; Dick (which airs Nov. 25). Lohan's rep also confirmed the news for Hollywood.com
It's no news that Lohan's personal and legal issues have eclipsed her professional achievements in the headlines these past few years, so we are itching to see what form Walters' line of questioning will take. According to E! News, Lohan agreed to the interview because she knows Walters will be sensitive with her questions. According to TMZ, Walters is interested in discussing the parallels between Lohan's life and Elizabeth Taylor's — including child stardom, living under the paparazzi's microscope, and coping with addiction. Hearing how these issues have helped shape 26-year-old Lohan into the woman she has become would certainly provide more fodder for lively (and emotional) conversation than the Lifetime movie alone. But, at the same time, I can't help but wonder — is there more to Lohan now than her headline-grabbing woes?
Lohan's recent interviews, including her Today appearance with Matt Lauer in March, have focused on her still-unfinished journey to recovery. And, because of this, Lohan is often left apologizing for her actions and grasping for ways to explain her past. But for someone who has kept up with Lohan's odyssey in and out of court, these topics are old news. Wouldn't it be more interesting to focus on how Lohan plans to rebuild her career, rather than rehash her tabloid-worthy endeavors? Or, is that kind of interview simply no longer possible? Has Lohan crossed into the land of celebrity lost causes?
While Drew Barrymore and Robert Downey, Jr. have been able to successful rehabilitate their careers as well as their lives, the jury is still out on whether Lohan will be capable of such a feat. Currently, it seems that as long as her personal antics keep her in the news, she will keep them up — and will keep talking about them. Lohan even went as far as to call TMZ directly with news relating to a recent blow-out fight with her parents. With Liz &amp; Dick premiering soon and The Canyons and Scary Movie 5 on the horizon, however, Lohan may be poised for a return to Hollywood's good graces. Maybe interview queen Walters will be the one to turn the conversation from shoplifting and parental arguments back to Lohan's work.
Maybe...

Kristen Stewart is a "miserable c***." She said so herself! In an interview with designer Nicolas Ghesquière for the November issue of Marie Claire UK, Kristen responded to a question about her happiness by saying, "I'm a miserable c***!" She went on to say, "I'm not sure if I'm most happy when I'm comfortable and content or when I'm pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy. And I really appreciate both." That's nice, Kristen, but it's too little too late. You already spilled the beans, confirming what we've thought for years: you're not capable of happiness.
Jokes, of course. We're sure there's room somewhere in Stewart's heart for a kernel of joy — heck, we've seen her smile a time or two. But she has never been one to laugh in interviews or grin on the red carpet. Now, with Stewart bandying about self-deprecating curse words like it's nothing, she seems to be embracing the public's view of her as a stoic, oftentimes melancholy individual. It's probably safe to say that Stewart's pronouncement of herself as "miserable" surprised no one — but do we think this is the reaction she was going for? Has Stewart fully accepted the fact that everyone assumes she's an unhappy person? And, if so, is that a good thing? I don't know... it seems a little sad to proclaim to the world that you're miserable (and call yourself the c-word).
Here's an idea! Maybe, instead of resigning herself to a miserable fate, Stewart should work on brightening up her image. After all, she is on the up and up. Chin up, girl! You is kind, you is smart, you is important. And lest you forget, here are five other reasons you should be happy right now:
1. You may be back together with your boyfriend.
Sure, this summer was rough (what with you deciding to have an affair with your director and breaking up with your boyfriend and all) but, if People's sources are to be believed, things are back to being hunky dory with you and Rob. That's great news! Right?
2. You are about to release a huge movie.
We're only a month away from the release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2, a film that is sure to be a box office hit and put lots of dollars in your pocket. But, even more exciting than seeing your face plastered on billboards all across the country, is the fact that you will never have to promote a Twilight film ever again. No more talking about imprinting and red contacts and signing autographs for prepubescent fans. That's gotta feel good, right?
3. On the Road premieres in December.
Remember that little movie you made about your favorite book? That one where you got to let loose and take off your shirt? People will get to see that soon. That'll be fun.
4. Snow White Round Two is in your future.
Despite early reports to the contrary, you weren't fired from the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel. Yay!
5. You're not this kid.

So, former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr likes to make out with strange men in bars; is that a crime? According to Twitter and Facebook users, it should be — and one that is punishable by public stoning, no less. Kerr came under heavy fire when news broke yesterday of her public make-out session with married country music star Jason Aldean, with online commenters slinging harsh terms like "slut" and "home-wrecker" her way. The criticism was so severe that Kerr decided to delete her Twitter account.
And yet, after so much unwarranted (stay with me) abuse, Kerr is the one apologizing. "The actions I portrayed recently were not a representation of my true character, but a lapse in judgment on my part," Kerr said in a statement to E! News. "I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone that has been affected by this, including my friends and family."
In these sorts of extramarital affairs, I strongly believe that both parties are to blame. The only (kinda maybe sorta) exception is when one party doesn't have all the information — like, when one person doesn't know that the other one is married. Which, according to TMZ, is what happened in this case. Sources told TMZ that Kerr had "NO IDEA" (yes, in all caps) Aldean was married, and that "if she would have known, she would have shut the whole thing down from the start." And yet, it is Kerr, not the actually married Aldean, who was forced to shut down her Twitter account to avoid hateful comments.
Whether you believe Kerr's ignorance or not, the lopsided criticism is inexcusable. This affair and its fallout are more than a little reminiscent of the Great Kristen Stewart/ Rupert Sanders Debacle of July 2012, and that's not a good thing. Sanders was the family man, the guy with the ring on his finger, and yet Stewart had to deal with "Trampire" T-shirts and Internet backlash. And do you know why that is? It's because women, like Stewart and Kerr, are inherently seductive, salacious creatures who want nothing more than to ensnare innocent, unsuspecting husbands in their lustful webs. The married men who conveniently forget that they have wives at home, meanwhile, are just "boys being boys." This is obviously the most logical explanation.
No, I'm sorry, there is no logical explanation for letting the man off Scot-free. It takes two to tango, social media commenters! Can't we share the blame (and while we're at it, tone down the inflammatory language)? I'm not asking that we give celebrities a free pass when they commit indiscretions, but I would like to encourage everyone to distribute their blame evenly. Both parties acted reprehensibly here, lets act accordingly. End rant.

Just because some of your favorite shows are already underway, doesn't mean things aren't changing all the time! With that in mind, we've got another day's worth of tasty television tidbits to whet your appetite for all-things-small-screen. Check out the fun facts below!
Who's That Girl? It's Munn!: Olivia Munn is making her way to that big, unattainable Los Angeles loft in the sky that houses three ZANY guys and that not-so-New Girl named Jess! And, she's going to play a love interest for Nick (cue everyone bugging out over the fact that Jess and Nick are still not getting together anytime soon) named Angie. Apparently she is totally sexy, charming and "earthy" which just leads me to believe she has a distinct bodily musk. Also she's totally charming and is able to hang with the crew. Sounds like fun! I'm sure someone, somewhere, is upset. Television! [Deadline]
Zac Efron Subletting on Sesame Street: perpetual high schooler Zac Efron is having a go on Sesame Street, the iconic children's program that taught you how to read, count, and ruined your life when you realized Snuffy was Big Bird's imaginary friend. Anyway, Efron has his magical twinkle-smile are going to hang out with Elmo to discuss the "Word of the Day", which will be 'patience.' Something kids need more of, amirite, parents?! Oh man, always so needy, those small ones. Anyway, the segment airs on Friday, September 28th.
John Larroquette is Infamous: Famous funny-when-angry actor person John Larroquette is becoming a serious part of the NBC midseason drama Infamous. The actor will play the very-much-a-made-up-TV-name Senator Dwight Haverstock; a powerful politician who has a dark history with the family around which the soap opera takes place. The Broadway man's character is the estranged best friend of Robert Bowers (Victor Garber's character), and is seen as unpredictable with a lot of sssssssecretssssss. Also apparently he has a big appetite but I don't know if that means for cheeseburgers or like, women, or something gross like that. We'll have to wait and see! Infamous is about a lady detective who goes undercover with wealthy Bowers family that she grew up in (that must be a good costume then!) as the maid’s daughter (they'll never expect the help! Dirty plebeians they are.) to solve the murder of an apparently-notorious heiress Vivian, who was once best friend 4-eva. Scandalous! [Deadline]
Major Crimes Gets Majorly...Renewed!: TNT's spinoff of their other show The Closer has been renewed for a second season. Major Crimes has been a huge hit for the network, debuting to 7.2 million viewers in August, and continued to be one of cable's top three new dramas in some pretty coveted demographic positions. So congratulations, Major Crimes...we can see why the major ones are probably better for TV than the minor ones. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Are the days of sad Robert Pattinson over, or have they just begun? Sources tell Us Weekly that Pattinson and almost-ex Kristen Stewart have decided to declare the whole Rupert Sanders affair water under the bridge and give things another shot. If Us is to be believed, the two are even living together again.
Now, getting back together with a cheating ex seems sketchy at best, so we think it would be wise for Pattinson to elicit more advice before he jumps right back into what very well may be a toxic relationship. We've gone ahead and done him a favor by writing to the most reliable sources for relationship wisdom we know: women's magazines.
These are all real quotes taken directly from the indicated magazines' advice columns. Responses are slightly edited for gender.
Dear Magazine,
My girlfriend recently cheated on me. I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure it was not a one-time thing — at least that's what it looked like in the pictures. She apologized profusely (and publicly) and cried a little and claims to still love me. I thought that meant something because she doesn't normally show emotion, but I still told her I needed some space. But now that I've had that space, I realize I'm lonely and miserable and we have a movie coming out and have to do the press tour anyway, so we are thinking about moving back in together. Do you think I should give her a second chance?
Sincerely,
"Bobby"
Seventeen: In theory, yes, everyone deserves a second chance. But you also need to honor the voice inside your head that is afraid of being hurt by this [girl] again--that voice is there to protect you. Since I don't have all the details about what went down between you two during that first breakup, it's best for you to use that voice as a guide … Maybe this [girl] didn't handle things so great. The point is, be a turtle. Don't rush back into a relationship just because [she's] gotten over whatever went down the first time ... The two of you need to resolve the trust issues that exist between you in a mature way, and the best way to do that is to take things slowly and not rush into dating again. And P.S.: You can have a relationship without it being a physical one, you know?
Marie Claire: I'd break up immediately after I found out my girlfriend cheated on me and I'd never give her another chance regardless of how "good" things ever were. Cheating is so selfish, and I'd never be able to let go of the mental image of her cheating on me. And cheaters are often repeat offenders. If I felt stupid the first time I got cheated on, how stupid would I feel the second time around? It's always good to go out on top: After she cheats on me, I would tell her to get lost, and still I'm the guy who never did anything wrong. That will leave her to float around and wonder what could have been, and live with the guilt.
Glamour: Don't take [her] back. [She] didn't cheat on you once. [She] cheated on you numerous times. And if you take [her] back, [she] will continue to cheat on you. It's a no-brainer—just like [her]. You gave [her] years of love and loyalty, and this is your repayment? … Your [girlfriend] might be truly sorry, [she] might get a gold star for confessing, and you might forgive [her] for what [she's] done, but [she] still must live with the consequences of [her] actions—losing you as a [boyfriend]. Forever. Maybe it will teach [her] something so that [she] doesn't make the same mistake with future [boyfriends]. Don't take [her] back. Please. This one's over. Move on.
Cosmopolitan: We’re going to put this bluntly, so put on your big-[boy] pants: The [girl] who’s perfect for you might cheat on you. Yes, even the most amazing, flower-sending, call-returning, make-your-friends-jealous [girlfriends] have been known to stray. “Slip-ups happen, but the good news is that when they truly are slip-ups, they’re survivable,” says William July, PhD, author of Confessions of an Ex Bachelor. In order to salvage your twosome, it’s important to resist the urge to get revenge, make [her] angry, or feel anxious every time [she] doesn’t call, according to July. If you’re capable of forgiving [her] and moving on, do just that. After all, it was a mistake, not [her] relationship MO. Bottom line: give the [girl] a second chance. As long as [she] doesn’t do it again (ever, ever, ever) and [she] goes back to being that practically perfect [girlfriend], don’t you think he’s worth it? We do.
Only time will tell whether Pattinson decides to move on, like most every magazine recommends, or take Cosmo's advice to forgive and forget.

Are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Getting Back Together?
Kristen Stewart on Impending Rob Pattinson Reunion: 'We're Totally Fine'
Kristen Stewart and the New World of Internet Hatred

Have you heard about Hugo and Kim? Sorry, I mean Robert and Kristen. After their dramatic semi-breakup earlier this summer (caused by Kristen Stewart's affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders and subsequent tearing out and stomping on of Robert Pattinson's still-beating heart), news is now circulating that the Twilight costars had a secret rendezvous the weekend of Sept. 15.
People reports that Pattinson and Stewart met up in Los Angeles over the weekend and are now on the brink of a reunion. We can draw this conclusion because a separated couple meeting up can only mean one thing: a night of passionate lovemaking followed by a surprise engagement and quickie marriage that will ensure the the two twenty-somethings will be together forever. Sorry, I can't even type that with a straight face. And now that I see it all written down it seems even more unlikely than it sounded in my brain. You know what more likely happened? Any of the boring things that normal broken-up couples do. Such as:
Get their stuff back: Every breakup includes the "exchanging of the stuff." After a period of cathartically burning everything within eyesight that belongs to your ex, you then spend the next few hours eating Ben &amp; Jerry's and throwing everything that technically belongs to him or her into a cardboard box. We know Stewart's been hanging onto Pattinson's t-shirts and he's surely clinging to some of her old records (because Kristen only listens to vinyl). Maybe the two decided it was time to finally let it all go.
Settle their expenses: A couple's separation becomes infinitely more complicated when cohabitation is involved. Pattinson is reportedly selling the house that he and Stewart lived in together. But before he can make a clean break from his property, he's got to pay all his utility bills and get everything in order. Pattinson could have arranged a meeting so Stewart could write him a check for cable.
Work out a friend custody arrangement: When you share a group of friends with your ex, finding ways to hang out can be more complicated than a Rubik's Cube. Maybe Pattinson and Stewart needed to hash out a mutually agreeable schedule for when who gets to see whom. Stewart has primary custody of Taylor Lautner, but Pattinson can visit him every other weekend and holidays.
Get the awkward encounter out of the way, in private: Much like high school sweethearts who end their romance over the summer, Pattinson and Stewart have a long road of forced company ahead of them (what with November's release of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2). It wouldn't be at all surprising if the two decided to meet up in private so that their first encounter is not in front of dozens of snapping cameras.
Or maybe my cynicism is once again getting in the way of true love. Maybe this illicit meeting really does signal a relationship resurgence for good ol' Robsten. Maybe there is good left in the world after all.

If there's one bit of advice we can take away from Kristen Stewart's tryst with Rupert Sanders it's, "Don't cheat on your boyfriend just before you release a movie together." Stewart's affair was a lot of things — unprofessional, inappropriate, illegal (adultery is still a crime in many states, you know) — but topping the list may be "poorly timed."
Seeing an ex after a messy breakup is never pleasant, but being forced to sit on press panel after press panel with said former flame sounds like the worst. With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 set to hit theaters this November, that is exactly what Stewart and jilted ex-lover Robert Pattinson have to look forward to. While on the red carpet for the Toronto International Film Festival's premiere of her new film On the Road on Saturday, Stewart gave fans the first hint at what they can expect from Breaking Dawn's press tour.
Stewart revealed to reporters on Thursday that she was suffering from a little Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder (yep, I made that up) before hitting the On the Road red carpet, the Associated Press reports. "I was a little nervous, obviously. I'm always nervous before a red carpet," Stewart said. "To be honest, I was just kind of telling myself, like, just don't black out. Be there, don't just figuratively put your head down and barrel though it. Be there, appreciate it. Luckily, very, very much I was able to do that."
Reading between the lines a little bit, Stewart seems to be talking about more than her usual social anxiety. This carpet was her first public appearance since the news of her split with Pattinson broke, so we're betting there was even more pressure on Stewart than usual to appear calm and collected. Luckily, Twihards flocked to the theater in droves to show their support for Stewart. "She may be a trampire, but she's our trampire!" They said. (Well, not really; I'm projecting). Stewart was grateful for the massive showing. "You expect a lot of people at a Twilight premiere, but showing up at an On the Road Toronto film festival screening and seeing that amount of people is absolutely, disarmingly amazing," Stewart said. "It felt pretty cool."
But all cool things must come to an end. As is to be expected, reporters had to ask Stewart about the impending awkwardness that is the Breaking Dawn press junket. According to the AP, she said, "We're going to be fine … We're totally fine." Eh, sounds like wishful thinking.
Since we think Stewart is in total denial and that there is no way in the realm of human possibility everything will be "fine," here are our suggestions for making things work come Breaking Dawn press time.
Get a Hologram: The best way to avoid any discomfort would be to make sure Stewart and Pattinson never step foot in the same room. So, we recommend hitting up the people who raised Tupac from the dead and getting them to whip up a holograms of Stewart and Pattinson. Their answers to the questions we know will be asked can be preprogramed; we all know nothing surprising comes from these press conferences anyway.
Skype: Okay, so holograms are expensive. Instead, Stewart and Pattinson could alternate Skyping into the interviews. This way they wouldn't have to breathe the same air.
Employ a Mediator: Like in couples counseling, Pattinson and Stewart could enlist the help of a mediator. This way, if Pattinson slips up and says, "Kristen is a floozy who tore my heart out of my chest and stomped all over it," there will be someone to step in and say, "What he means is, 'Kristen made me feel sad when she didn't honor our taciturn agreement that ours was a monogamous relationship.'"
Wear Sensory Deprivator 500s: When Ted wanted to avoid learning the Super Bowl's outcome on How I Met Your Mother he invented the world's most effective blinders. Pattinson and Stewart should each get a pair; it'd be like the other person wasn't even there.
